+ * Added the -s option to du -beppu
+ * Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu
+ * Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
+ * New Apps: lsmod, rmmod -erik
+ * New Apps: fbset contributed by Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
+ * Fixed the embarrasing failure of 'logger -p'. -erik
+ * Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
+ with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
+ * Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
+ <konst@voshod.com>.
+ * Implemented sort. -beppu
+ * Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
+ * Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
+ special files.
+ * cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
+ them so they should now work as expected.
+ * New app: loadacm contributed by Peter Novodvorsky <petya@logic.ru>
+ for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
+ * sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
+ has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
+ * Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
+ * Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
+ like GNU ls.
+ * Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files.
+ * Fixed a major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
+ of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
+ Ouch!!!
+ * Fixed a stupid segfault in kill.
+ * Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>:
+ - Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code,
+ - fixed several typos
+ - Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes
+ * Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
+ regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
+ # Implemented uniq. -beppu

+ * New Apps: ping, hostname, and mkfifo contributed by Randolph Chung
+ <tausq@debian.org>. 3 items off the TODO list!
+ * I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo").
+ * Added tail, based on tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
+ to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller sometime.
+ * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
+ when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a',
+ which does the right thing.
+ * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
+ integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
+ * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals
+ * 'ls -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
+ one file descriptor per file. Oops.
+ * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code in
+ which blocked reboots.
+ * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
+ init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
+ * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
+ stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu <beppu@lineo.com>)
+ * Implemented tee. -beppu
+ * Implemented head. -beppu

* Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab
file existed.
- * df will not exit on error, but will try to stat all mounted filesystems.
- * Fixed tar so uid/gud/permissions on extracted tarballs will be correct.
+ * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
+ * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be correct.
+ * Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
+ (i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
+ was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.
+ * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
+ kernel messages.
+ * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
+ is actually a socket with the right permissions.
+ * I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
+ filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
+ will complain if you enable them when you disable
+ BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS.
